Episode notes

What does it take to make the (arguably) greatest archaeological discovery of all time? Grit. Tenacity. Patience. Money money money, skill with a paintbrush, and the ghost of the past calling your name… so not even that much, really.

Listen as Coco spills the hot Egyptian tea on beige-boy Howard Carter, his rich bro benefactor Lord Carnarvon, some dude named Winlock, and the nameless (true heroes) Egyptian laborers responsible for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun.

Then dive right into the myth of the mummy’s curse and decide for yourself if the deaths associated with the discovery of Tut’s tomb were the result of an ancient curse, or just coincidences. As usual, Madi and Coco can’t make up their damn minds.

Follow that up with a fresh hot cup of brotherly revenge, brought to you by Betsy - who kicks the whole thing off with a super catchy impromptu theme song.
